Summary:

"The Expositor's Bible: The Book of Deuteronomy" by Andrew Harper is a theological commentary written in the late 19th century. This work is an exploration of the Book of Deuteronomy, part of the Old Testament, and it delves into complex topics such as authorship, age, and the historical context of the text. Harper aims to clarify critical questions surrounding the book, especially in the face of modern criticism of the Scriptures. The opening of the text introduces the themes that Harper will explore throughout the commentary. He discusses the importance of addressing critical questions regarding the authorship and age of Deuteronomy, particularly the assertion that it is a work of Moses, while recognizing that later scholars challenge this view. The author underscores the need for an exposition that acknowledges historical critical viewpoints without undermining the spiritual and moral teachings of the text. This initial framework sets the stage for an in-depth analysis that will touch upon the divine governance illustrated in the laws and narratives of Deuteronomy, focusing on God's relationship with His people throughout history.
